Manually verified. It seems this package can't be successfully installed in Windows Sandbox. 😕

If you install all dependencies using winget.exe in advance. Then download the *.msix file and install it interactively, it's okay to be properly installed and launched. 😕

@Dragon1573, does the .AppInstaller installation file necessitate this too?

[Dragon1573]

I can't sure if .appinstaller is required, but Komac does not support this file extension. 😞

[RokeJulianLockhart]

#199194 (comment)

@Dragon1573, what's Komac? I would presume you're using Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe ¹ to install these packages, considering that it's the default file association in Windows for these file types.

What's Komac?

I've tried using Tools/YamlCreate.ps1 for creating manifest, but I have to manually configure everything on my own. 😞 So I simply configure as follows:

Installers:
- Architecture: neutral
  InstallerUrl: https://github.com/microsoft/EventLogExpert/releases/download/v24.8.29.1017/EventLogExpert_x64.appinstaller
  InstallerSha256: 91A1FBAE860058893122BD16D9C1956DC2400BDEB911BFBD6BC2051373D036FF

An error will show up while I try to validate it via Tools/SandboxTest.ps1.
